History

Established in 1997 as a joint venture between AGREXO and CAL Cargo Airlines, CHALLENGE HANDLING employs end of 2023, around 500 people and specializes in ground handling for both complex and standard cargo. Initially founded to handle and transport perishables, our entire infrastructure is built to facilitate incredibly fast transfer from plane to trucks, for quick delivery to market.
